Title: UK sailors.. Vote to abandon e-borders
#3
Basically, it is legislation that the last UK government put forward that all small boats entering or leaving UK territorial waters must log their crew compliment, passport details, embarkation and destination ports on-line before arriving in port... it's hugely expensive, very impractical and does nothing to enhance national security, but significantly impinges on the freedoms of recreational boaters.

Typical Big Brother government.. hopefully the new UK government will cancel it as it is (a) hugely expensive and (b) limits the personal freedoms of the average boater...

But... if you're a UK citizen, please visit the link in my original post, and register your disgust!!!
Never knowingly overcanvassed!
